The burnmates task was to debate the Malaria effects in Africa. As they sat discussing the issues with Hannington as chairperson of the debate; a tipsy Lerato interjected quite a bit as the others were talking. Her stand was that she has questions and need answers since she does not have a lot of experience or information on Malaria.
Hannington was requesting that she needs to listen to others and give them a chance to express their points and she will be given a chance to speak. Lerato got upset and did a walk-out. As she walked into the house, Hannington said “we are not gonna be babies”, Lerato replied from inside the house “I am not expecting to be babied, Hanningnton” and returned from the house with glass and bottle in hand.
Lerato carried on taunting Hannington maintaining that he is being stupid. Hannington responded that she is the one being an effing biatch. Lerato insisted that she was not talking to him as he reiterated that they are all in this together. She taunted him asking if he wants a badge for being chairman. Hannington told her to sit down.
She carried on asking if he wants a badge and an effing cap saying he’s a sherrif. He said she must sit down. She told everybody he can effing do whatever he wants, he can say whetver the efff he wants, she doesn’t give a efff. Hes told her, “the only problem here is you”.
As they raise their voices, and got close to each other’s faces, Hannington pushed her head away. Lerato shoved him back and hit him with the bottle. He shoved back and she hit him with the bottle again. He shoved her again and the bottle hit Lerato on her face. At this point, Sheila is pulling hannington away from Lerato; Tatiana and Paloma are holding Lerato down. Code was trying to pull Hannington but not with a lot f force.
Now, I am shocked at what happened. I am beyond speechless at the events that left Lerato with blood on her t-shirt, Hannington crying and apologizing, Paloma giving NGO sermons and Sheila attacking Code for not using her manly powers to help her stop Hannington.
I personally feel too many things right now to give a sound opinion so I ask –
Was Lerato right for taunting Hannington?
Was Lerato being c-operative with everybody?
Was Hannington right for shoving her head away as they got more aggressive?
If the events had happened with Lerato and another girl barnmate (Tatiana); and Tatiana reacted the same way Hannington did, would we be so angry?
Who must be immediately evicted?
